1.What is the specific topic your group decided to focus on?
We decided to focus on how malaria affects the people in south Africa.
2.Which organization did you choose to focus on and why?
We chose to focuse on this organization, AMREF, because they are focusing on the women's pregnancy. 3. What exactly are they doing to try and combat or change your issue?
The A. M. R. E. F. are trying to understand the meaning of malaria and how it can be solved, because they want to help and save the people from dying from this devastated disease. They are also accessing to an accurate, early diagnostic services and effective treatment as close to their home as possible, so they can easily save them from danger. The organization is also trying to lower their risk of getting malaria by: through personal and community measures, especially like those long-lasting insecticidal nets and anti-malarial medication, particularly for pregnant women and children. They are also making women who are pregnant to eat or use vitamins to help and give them strengths when they are going through their pregnancy.
4.What are some of the things you like about their program?
We had liked this particular organizatoin because they are trying to save the next generation kids. Which is by giving their mothers vitamins, just help them control their malaria while they are giving birth, and the babies will get a healthy body as well, this would solve the problem of infant mortality. Another thing that we liked about this organization was that they seem to be very interesting. They didn't do the same or simular events to help prevent or solve the situation of malaria.
5.How do you plan to become involved with this organization or model your action plan after it?
I am thinking about having a fund raiser to raise some money and donate those money to them. So by giving them the money, they can buy their needs to overcome this situation of the south African people.
